duce Military Authorities to
Locate Site There.
Raicigh.—Camp Glenn, Morehead,
It decided upon as the concentration

noancement made at guard headquar
ters here. Recommendation to this
effect has been forwarded to the W.ir
Department by Colonel Slocum, of the
United States Army, to wliom was
delegated the duty of deciding this
matter. There is still a posibility that
in the event the coast artillery con-
tigent of the guard is called out. it

but otherwise, the plan is to have all
the otlier units of the puard at Camp
Gleun as they are oniorod out.
There is to be ininu'diate removal
of the Serond Regiment from Golds
boro to Camp Glenn, they having been
»topped at Gohlsboro simply for mus
ter-out purposes, whicli plans werf
abandoned as the war situation
deyeloped.

thoritips to adopt a site and facilities

On Monday afternoon, Jack Jen

number of his little friends with an
Easter party. The time was spent
in bunting eggs, and to the one who
found the most a prize was offered,
which was awarded to Annie
Zachary. Gatues were engaged in
on the lawn, also pictures of the
children were taken, each carrying
an American flag.
The children assembled into the
dining room to the strains of the
Victrola, playing, “Here Comes My

The room was decorated with a
color scheme of yellow. The

Numerous Benefits
Can Be Obtained
By Cleaning Up
“Clean up week” depends for Its sue-
eesM upon the hearty co-operation of
every citizeu, and if it be given un
grudgingly the tow'n will be the better
for it In health, in money and attrac
tiveness. City officials can do much
in seeing that the street cleaners do
really clean, that garbage collectors do
their task thoroughly and that public
buildings, squares and parks shall be
an example of neatness. liut what the
official can do will l)e l>ut a drop in
the bucket compared with what should
be done. It is the comers that are out
of right that need most attenti(in—the
courts, cellars and back yards—and
over these the municipality has no
control. It depends, therefore, upon
the householder to do the major part
in the elimination of rubl)ish, the over
hauling of the things that c-«)llect dust
and filth, and the whole pro(*ess that
goes to make up the real town beau
tiful.
Dirt of any sort means multiplication
of di.sease, and disease means e onom-
ic waste. Therefore “clean up week"
will mean Irasiness prudence and eu-
terpri.se. Health means wealth and
progress.
Statistics of Blindness.
The 12 countries having the fewest

(before the great war) had 43 blind
persons to every 100,000 of the popula
tion; Canada, 44; Netherlands, 46;
Saxony, 47; New Zealand, 47; west
ern Australia, 50; Hongkong, 51;
Prussia, 52; Denmark, 52; Germany.
